WFMY News 2, looked into where the outbreak came from. Scott Lenhart, Stokes County Health Director, told WFMY News 2's Liz Crawford the source is a man in his late twenties or early thirties from the Prabhupada Village in Stokes County. He took a trip to India at the end of March, where he contracted measles and brought it back to the United States.

"In this case, the individual who traveled did not have the recommended two doses of MMR vaccine prior to leaving the country. The country where he traveled is endemic with measles," explained Amy Parker Fiebelkorn , an epidemiologist for the Centers For Disease Control and Prevention.

Most of the time vaccines are not required, therefore it's up to the traveler to make sure they get vaccinated to protect themselves and prevent outbreaks like this one.

Fiebelkorn said, "The best that we can do is inform people of the risks involved in traveling internationally and not being vaccinated and provide the recommendations that we have."
